No ED-doublet refractor should ever be called "apochromatic"! Not even the fluorite-doublets are! True apochromatic refractors are of true triplet or quadruplet design - which for example excludes doublets with additional field flattener lenses...

The above is a political statement more than a rating of the product. With modern glass and lens design it is possible to build an APO in a doublet configuration. The ED114SS review in S&T (5/02) called it an APO and compared it to other APO scopes.
Some quotes from the article:
"Jupiter looked neutral white when sharply focused, with no surrounding halo of blue light, remarkable for such a fast-foca-ratio refractor."
"Bright 1st-magnitude stars appeared clean white, with no halos from chromatic aberration."
This is not a fluke, many Tele Vue scopes are doublet APOs also.
